Pet addendum
Addendum format: Detailed / Long-Form
1. CONSTRUCTION & CONTROLLING DOCUMENTS
This agreement supplements, and does not silently replace, any controlling lease, addendum, disclosure, consent, court order, housing-program requirement, or nonwaivable law. If a conflict exists, the controlling document or law governs to the extent required.
2. AMENDMENTS; WAIVER; SEVERABILITY
Any amendment should be in writing and signed or otherwise accepted in the manner required by applicable law. A delay or failure to enforce one provision does not by itself waive future enforcement. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue to the extent permitted by law.
3. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; ATTACHMENTS
Together with any attachments expressly identified in this document and any controlling lease terms incorporated by reference, this writing reflects the parties' stated agreement on the subjects it addresses. Oral statements or side arrangements should not be treated as modifying this document unless they are lawfully incorporated.
4. GOVERNING LAW & NONWAIVABLE RIGHTS
This document is governed by the law applicable to the rental property. Nothing in it is intended to waive a tenant, landlord, occupant, applicant, or housing-program right that cannot lawfully be waived.
5. ANIMAL STATUS DISTINCTION
Ordinary pets, service animals, assistance animals, and other legally protected accommodation requests must not be treated as automatically interchangeable. Pet rent, deposits, screening, restrictions, documentation, and enforcement should be applied only where lawful and should not be used to deny a required disability-related accommodation.
